KENDRICK LAMAR knows how to close out a year in music. The Compton MC currently has a strangle hold on music charts as his “GNX” album continues to take all spots on all streaming platforms. The 12 track masterclass soundly addressed any and all instances surrounding him. Lamar is also rumored to have even more music on the way!
This month’s Straight Official Verse of the Month comes from the track that almost sounded illegal to hear finally! Kendrick’s track “Squabble Up” was teased by a snippet heard in the intro of “Not Like Us” released this summer. Once I finally heard the track in full it was well worth the wait!
KENDRICK LAMAR – SQUABBLE UP
God knows
I am
Reincarnated, I was stargazin’
Life goes on, I need all my babies (gyah, gyah)
Woke up lookin’ for the broccoli
High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off at my feet
(When I hear music, it makes me dance)
(You got the music, now is your chance)
A yee nigga couldn’t try me in the tri-state
Buddy pass, bet I get him splashed ’til he hydrated
Bounce out, know he spook town, eyes dilated
I got the money and the power both gyratin’
I feel good, get the fuck out my face
Look good, but she don’t got no taste
I walk in, walked out with the safe
Mando, let me know what the play
What the fuck? I got hits, I got bucks, I got new paper cuts
I got friends, I got foes, but they all sitting ducks
Hit his turf and get crackin’, double back like a deluxe
Fifty deep, but it ain’t deep enough
Fuck a plea, there he go, beat him up
Fallin’ from my money tree and it grow throughout the months
Spit a loogie at the camera, speed off, yeah, it’s us
SQUABBLE UP cont.
I feel good, get the fuck out my face
Look good, but she don’t got no taste
I walk in, walked out with the safe
Mando, let me know what the play
Hol’ up (hol’ up), where you from? (Where you from?)
Bye, bitch (bye, bitch), I’m finna go dumb (finna go dumb)
Sideways (sideways), bunk skunk (bunk skunk)
Fever (fever), I’m on one (I’m on one)
Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, baby rockin’ it
Quid pro quo, what you want? ‘Cause I’m watchin’ it
Work on the floor, let me know if you clockin’ it
Brodie won’t go, but I know that he poppin’ it
It was woof tickets on sale ’til I silenced it
Pipe down, young, these some whole other politics
Bitch with him and some bitch in him, that’s a lot of bitch
Don’t hit him, he got kids with him, my apologies
Ghetto child, it was Black & Milds with the Smirnoff
Yeehaw, we outside, whoadie ’bout to kill him off
Blaps on blaps, it’s a fact, this a brick of raw
Tell me why the fuck you niggas rap if it’s fictional?
Tell me why the fuck you niggas fed if you criminal?
“Ayy, Dot, can I get a drop?” I’m like, “Nigga, nah”
Ace boon coon from the Westside to Senegal
It’s a full moon, let the (ah) wolves out, I been a dog
